[QUOTE="Keren, post: 653816, member: 3195"] This is a cool thread. I just thought of another. When I was working at the feedlot, there was this Wagyu steer pretty darn close to the end of his feed out period, big ol guy, quiet as a lamb, well one weigh day when they were coming out of the pen to run down to the yards, he slipped and fell, all four feet heading in all four directions. So we scooped him up in the bucket and dropped him down in a hospital pen. He couldnt stand. We brought feed and water to him for two weeks, he still couldnt stand no matter what we tried. So the big boss said it was time to shoot him. Well, one of the stockmen went down there, pointed the gun at him, and what do you know that steer stood up! So the stockman put the gun away. The steer sat back down. Wouldnt get up again. Nothing we tried would get him up. Electric prods, food, water, you name it, nothing would get him up. So down comes the stockman a few days later with the gun, points it at the steer, and up the steer gets, on his feet, walks around the pen a little too. Then sits down again, chewing his cud. So off goes the stockman. This continued for almost six weeks, and four or five times that stockman tried to shoot the steer, and every time he got up. But he refused to get up unless the gun was pointed at him. In the end, the boss gave the order to shoot him because we couldnt continue to play that game. [/QUOTE]
